Nice lady here
Prominent Black Lives Matter activist Sasha Johnson is critically ill after being shot in the head, her party says.
The Taking the Initiative Party (TTIP) said she was being treated in intensive care after being "brutally attacked" in the early hours of Sunday.
The 27-year-old has life-threatening injuries following the shooting on Consort Road, in Peckham, south London.
TTIP said Ms Johnson had undergone an operation and remained in critical care, in recovery post-surgery.
A vigil was held in Ruskin Park, close to King's College Hospital, where Ms Johnson is being treated.
Well-wishers played African drums and prayed for Ms Johnson to pull through.
One speaker told the crowd: "In every community there are good eggs and bad eggs and we have to make sure those bad eggs are held accountable for their actions.
"Because it's not acceptable for those bad eggs to be attacking our warriors - be they male or female.
